Visit West Linn Library for a Quilt Show featuring Judy Liebo (one of our customers!)

The West Linn Public Library will host an exhibit featuring the work of Judy Liebo during the month of January. The exhibit will run January 4–29 in the library’s Community Room which is open to the public when not in use, and always open on Sundays, noon – 5:00 p.m.For as long as Judy Liebo can remember, she has been making things with her hands. She started off in junior high baking bread and sewing skirts. These days her focus has been on fabric manipulation, usually quilting. She feels inspired by everything from carpet patterns to sunsets.Liebo's quilts have won prizes several times at the Northwest Quilt Expo. She enjoys the freedom of size and pattern that comes with quilting and the versatility of display options, be it on a wall or on a bed. “There is something so satisfying to my soul to finish a quilt, step back and say, 'Yes…that’s what I saw'".

The Library is located at at 1595 Burns Street, West Linn, Oregon. Here's the map.
